Revision as of 15:13, 22 November 2017

Welcome to the Home Page for the Alaska SAS Users Group.

We hold informal brown bag lunch meetings approximately once a month in Anchorage, AK. Meetings are also available as webinars as a courtesy of the State of Alaska through GoToMeeting (R). E-mail Art Carpenter for more information or to be placed on the e-mail list for announcements about meetings.

This class will cover the SAS Macro Language from the most basic (December 4), to intermediate (December 11) to advanced topics and examples (December 18) [Presentations:ArtCarpenter_Papers_and_Presentations#REPORT_Procedure_Presentations|here]].

⛳ We would like to have a live problem solving session.
Do you have a common problem for which you would like to have a solution? Have you inherited some code and would like to have it parsed and discussed?

May, June, July, August, and September 2014
For the next four meetings we will be conducting a series on the use of the Macro Language to build and run dynamic applications. We laid the first foundations by providing the motivations at our April 2014 meeting. The May meeting will be the introduction to the topic, and then the next three meetings (June, July, and August) will by taken from Art Carpenter's half day course on Building Dynamic Applications.

This series of presentations will show you how to take advantage of SAS Macro Language capabilities that enable you to write dynamic programs and applications. By mastering the concepts and techniques presented in these presentations your programs will become free of hard-coded data dependencies, thus eliminating the need to re-write the code every time a data set name, variable name, or other data attribute, changes. Let “them” change the project's specifications as often as “they” want; your code is ready!

The dynamic programming techniques that you will learn about during this seminar:
